Kafka Valued Member Canada 352 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 1:48 pm Is the '75 penny PMD or damage at the mint? Are the letters in the word 'States' of the '77 due to a weak strike? Thanks all. Report this Post to the Staff

DaytR Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 837 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 2:08 pm The 1975 penny looks like PMD , I see a lot of road coins with a somewhat similar look and I suspect that penny may have been driven over at dome point...... I am leaning on the 1977 penny being a weak strike, its looks awesome for penny its age it must have lived a sheltered life Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2525 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 2:51 pm with the '75, a road coin. On the '77, wouldn't the whole side be weak if it's a weak strike? I'm leaning more toward Struck Through Grease or overpolishing on that area. Report this Post to the Staff

Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 4:42 pm PMD on the first one. The 2nd however, It looks like there's a minor Cud going on the OBV. Maybe that has something to do with the weak side? It also looks ever so slightly MAD as well. The experts should pipe in a little while.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 5:06 pm Looks like a minor rim Cud on the second coin. The reverse shows a partial Grease Filled Die. The first coin is a parking lot cent. Still worth copper melt. Report this Post to the Staff
Agrippa Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 9:41 pm I see lots of LMC with this same grease issue in the same spot. Why are there so many with the same issue? Report this Post to the Staff
